I'm sure this has been done before, but hopefully not recently; in the game threads recently, I've noticed a lot of us have to resort to feeds or league pass to watch our awesome (but usually crappy) Pistons. So, I was wondering; how did you all become fans of the Pistons? Was it maybe the actual Bad Boy era that drew you in? Did you grow up in the metro Detroit area? Me personally, I live about 20 minutes away from Detroit; I know, the Palace is in Auburn Hills, but point being I live in this area. I'm a giant Detroit sports homer and the Pistons are my team. I mean, I love the NBA as a whole, and a handful of other teams as well, but the Pistons have my heart, as does DBB.

Now, to pick up on a meme (or totally steal someone's signature phrase, to which I apologize), your thoughts.
